Meranti wood, also known as Shorea spp., is sourced primarily from Southeast Asia, particularly from countries in the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian Archipelago.

Malaysia : Malaysia is one of the largest producers of Meranti wood, with extensive forests of Shorea species found in both Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Malaysian Meranti wood is known for its quality and variety, with different species and grades available for various applications.

Indonesia : Indonesia is another major producer of Meranti wood, with significant quantities harvested from the islands of Sumatra, Borneo (Kalimantan), and Papua. Indonesian Meranti wood is widely used in the construction industry for plywood, veneer, and timber products, as well as for furniture making and decorative woodworking.

Brunei : Meranti wood is also sourced from the small Southeast Asian nation of Brunei, which has forests containing various Shorea species. Brunei's Meranti wood is often exported to regional and international markets for use in construction, furniture, and other applications.

Vietnam : Vietnam has forests containing Shorea species that yield Meranti wood, although production levels may be lower compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Vietnamese Meranti wood is used domestically and may also be exported to neighboring countries.
